A method and apparatus in a wireless communication system comprising at
least one transmitter provided with at least two antennas and at least
one receiving unit provided with at least one antenna and wherein
training sequences are transmitted from the at least two antennas of the
at least one transmitter to the at least one antenna of the at least one
receiving unit. Characterized in that first, prior to the transmission, a
training sequence P(k) is Inverse Discrete Fourier Transformed to a
sequence p(n). Second, for each antenna branch the Inverse Discrete
Fourier Transformed sequence p(n) is cyclically rotated by a
predetermined step, said predetermined step being p(n) is cyclically
rotated by a predetermined step, said predetermined step being different
for each antenna branch to generate cyclically rotated training sequences
p(n-n1), p(n-n2). Third, the cyclically rotated training sequences
p(n-n1), p(n-n2) are transmitted concurrently from said at least two
antennas to the receiving unit. Fourth, at the receiving unit receiving
the cyclically rotated training sequences, the received sequences being a
superposition of transmitted training sequences, each individually
affected by the propagation medium, are used to provide channel impulse
response estimates for the transmission from respective antenna.
